Last August, while promoting his Def Jam debut album, Big Boi was arrested in Miami. Big Boi was in possession of drugs. He had one count of drug paraphernalia and three counts of possession of a controlled substance.

Today, Big Boi appeared in court in Miami. In court, he accepted a plea deal. Accepting the plea deal helped Big Boi avoid becoming yet another rapper being sent to prison. Many former chart-toppers are currently behind bars.

Big Boi will not be spending any time behind bars, but he will be $2,000 short. He has to donate the previously-mentioned sum of money to charity. Aside from donating the money to charity, Big Boi has to undergo drug testing for three months and he has to do community service.
